Do you have a family member in the military overseas?

I know you probably mean deployed, but my dh and I are technicaly overseas stationed in italy. I have a cousin and a friend in Japan. Thankfully none of my vast military family is deployed right now, they all got back in time for the holidays.

Not this year. A couple of years ago, my brother was in Kuwait. The year before, a bunch of guys I used to he stationed with were in Iraq, coincidentally assigned to provide medical treatment to my cousin's platoon.
